CRIME AGAINST WOMEN IN SOME STATES OF INDIA

According to National Crime Records Bureau 2017, Uttar Pradesh topped in the list in India with 56,011 cases of crime against women. This followed by Maharashtra with 31,979 cases and West Bengal at 30,002. Crime against women constitute murder, rape, dowry death, suicide abetment, acid attack, cruelty against women and kidnapping. 

Rape by known persons constitutes a large percentage of all cases reported. In 93.1 percent cases the accused were known to the victims. They include family friends, employers, neighbours, other known persons, friends, online friends, live-in partners etc. In MP the percentage is 97.5, Rajasthan 87.5 and Maharashtra 98.1.

Based on statewise data, Arunachal Pradesh, Goa, Himachal Pradesh, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim and Tripura can be seen as moderately safer than other states as they recorded the lowest number of cases.

Crime against women has a rise in 2018 compared to 2017. Uttar Pradesh topped the list again followed by Maharashtra and West Bengal. Delhi tops the list among the metropolitan cities. A total of 3,88,277 cases of crime against women reported in India. While UP registered 59,445 cases MP registered 5,450 cases of rape alone in 2018. While categorising the cases cruelty by husband or relatives stands at 31.9%, assualt  on women with intent to outrage her modesty at 27.6%, kidnapping and abduction stood at  22.5% and rape cases at 10.3%.

While the concerned political parties are least bothered about such things in their states, the so called democratic people of India can do nothing but to curse their leaders from their hearts which they believe will have terrific impact on them.
